Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mikey Eastman (ranked 8030 p4p, 654 weight class) and Diego Barrera (ranked 3509 p4p, 455 weight class). Eastman kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Go Ninja Go. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Diego Barrera was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
